Christina Schamp
Hello! I’m Christina Schamp, MS, a dedicated therapist in Canonsburg PA with a passion for helping individuals navigate their unique journeys towards mental well-being. With three years of experience in the field, I understand that reaching out for support can be a daunting step. I want you to know that you’re not alone in what you’re experiencing. My goal is to create a safe, compassionate space where we can work together to uncover your strengths, understand your challenges, and achieve your personal goals.
Whether you’re navigating anxiety, depression, stress, or other mental health challenges, I’m here to offer empathy and tailored support. I specialize in helping children, couples, families, and individuals struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, and ADHD.
I use a variety of therapeutic modalities to ensure a holistic approach to healing. This includes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to address negative thought patterns, along with art therapy, attachment-based theory, play therapy, and behavioral therapy. I also integrate mindfulness practices like breathwork, as well as techniques such as Dialectical Behavioral Therapy DBT, compassion-focused therapy, family systems, choice theory, holistic therapy, and lifespan integration, tailoring each approach to best suit your needs.
Education and Experience
My path to becoming a therapist was both diverse and enriching. I earned my Bachelor’s degree in Elementary Education and Special Education with a focus on Autism from Bethany College in 2016. This foundational knowledge provided me with a deep understanding of different learning needs and developmental challenges, which I’ve found invaluable in my therapeutic practice.
After spending two years working abroad in Germany and New Zealand, I gained valuable international insights into education and mental health. I returned to the U.S. to further my education, earning degrees in Mental Health Counseling and School Counseling from California University of PA in 2022. This academic path provided me with a comprehensive set of therapeutic techniques, enabling me to tailor my practice to meet each client’s unique needs.
Hobbies and Interests
Outside of my professional life, I cherish spending quality time with my daughter and our dog. They bring immense joy and balance to my life. I also have a love for playing basketball, which helps me stay active and grounded. Music is another passion of mine—whether I’m listening to it for relaxation or motivation, it plays a significant role in my life. Traveling is something I deeply enjoy, as it allows me to explore new cultures and perspectives. And let’s not forget the simple pleasure of napping, which I find essential for recharging and maintaining my well-being.
